Very often parents face the dilemma whether they should get their
children trained at home or should they enroll them into music centers.
While home classes sound more comfortable especially for parents who
want to train their child by themselves however they do not develop as
many skills in a child that music centers do.
Music centers provides its
students with a platform where they can meet others with similar likes
and interests. They enable students to get proper feedback on their
performance and also help in boosting-up their confidence. Many a times
Music centers are also quite instrumental in organizing events for its
students to perform, thus giving them an exposure which home based
classes simply cannot. Also, meeting and gelling up with people with
the same purpose in life helps students learn the very best from one
another. Musical training at home simply deprives the child of all these
diverse opportunities.
Let us focus on few more points on why music centers are superior to
home classes for music training and for enhancing the development of
children.
Development of Motor Skills
Music centers helps in significantly improving the motor skills among
kids as they learn to play different instruments. This enhances the
students understanding of coordination and rhythm as they are able to
recognize the sequence of songs, respond to different patterns of rhythm
and distinguish between melodies. As children learn to dance to
specific tunes, their self confidence is improved besides which their
co-ordination, motor skills and flexibility becomes better. Such a
diverse platform cannot be availed with home classes.
"There was never any doubt when it came to my daughter learning singing. It had to be a Music Center as it was a very good place from a infrastructure point of view, the teachers were qualified and more importantly the mingling and interaction with other children her age would have provided Rabbani with social confidence. Driving a short distance was not a problem and in fact it was a good get-away from home even if it was for 15-20 minutes” says Geetika Ahluwalia , a mother of a 6 year old Rabbani based in Ambala Cantt.
Development of Language
Music centers help the children to communicate their moods, ideas and
concepts. This proves extremely beneficial for kids facing language
development problems. Hearing to the different sounds and rhythms helps
the children with their speech and improves their enunciation,
vocabulary, pronunciation and fluency. Generally children involved with
various music related activities tend to have a better vocabulary. And
all this is not possible in the four walls of the home but certainly
possible at Music centers.
Development of Cognitive Skills
Music centers enhance the academic learning capabilities of children
in a significant manner. This not only helps in improving the memory
power of the children but also enables them to understand and learn the
concepts of science, math and languages in a more effective manner.
Though we agree that Music in general helps to develop cognitive skills
but in a very vast magnitude in music centers which are full of fun and
frolic as compared to home.
Development of Social Skills
This goes without saying that when children meet other people of
similar motive and the same love for the art in a music center, it grows
their social circle. Moreover, the children learn to work together and
appreciate the efforts of each other, irrespective of how small or big
they may be. They learn the importance of unity, dedication and hard
work which can prove helpful to them throughout their lives. This
development of social skills is not possible with home based classes.
"According to Veena Bansal,VP – HR with a leading company in Gurgaon Music Dance Centres also encourage learning process in kids. My daughter Pranay was always eager to attend classes at her dance centre for Indian Classical for she had made some good friends and this made her a regular. There were times when we would ask her to drop a session so that we could attend a movie or a family function but she would always insist on completing her classes, she says with a chuckle. Also in our case the dance centre had a pick and drop which was very convenient keeping in view that both me and my husband have busy work schedules", she continues.
Development of Emotional Front
Music centers help children become more appreciative of the skills of
different individuals. They also help them to learn to express their
views and emotions in a confident and calm manner. In addition, the
mentors at the music centers teach the children to be mentally strong
and accept failure as a part of life. They learn the concept of healthy
competition and the importance of developing their own strengths rather
than focusing on the weaknesses of their competitors.
